Another problem Paul addresses is the issue of Jesus’ resurrection and the future hope of Jesus’ followers. There were some people in the church who were saying that the idea of resurrection is ridiculous and doesn’t really matter to being a Christian. Paul reacts to this, he begins by saying that the resurrection is an indispensable part of the gospel. We believe in it, because of the hundreds of eye witnesses that saw Jesus alive in a physical body after being publicly executed by the Romans.

What is Paul up to in his letters? Paul’s core conviction is that fundamental change happens to us, when our very sense of who we are is completely revolutionized behavior, follows our sense of identity. Don’t live like the Gentiles, because we are something new, we are all new kinds of humans now, Ephesians 4:17-32.

We heard implications of this truth about Jesus and it opened up a completely different way of living, put off your old-humanity, be made new in the attitude of your minds and put on the new-humanity created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Paul’s mixing all these different metaphors together at once, but the front side of Ephesians is Paul’s visions, chapters 1 through 3 is about God forming a new humanity in Jesus.

The old humanity that we took off, is just in a lifelong pursuit driven by desires that are constantly tricking us and letting us down, they’re ruining us, because we just go from one desire to the next, it’s an endless trail of breadcrumbs.

God’s name means that he is the one who is and who will be, God’s existence doesn’t depend on anyone or anything else, this God simply is. It will sound kind of strange for Moses to go say to the Israelites, I will be, has sent me to you, only God can say, I will be. God tells Moses the version he should say aloud, Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, he has sent me to you. That word Yahweh is the ancient Hebrew form of the verb, He will be, and this is the personal name of the God of Israel.

We are God’s new temple and our foundation is of the most holy faith, which refers to the core message of good news about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection for our sins. On that foundation, the integrity of this building will be maintained by staying alert for the return of Jesus to bring his just and his mercy and in doing this, we will help each other stay faithful to Jesus.
